Meanwhile Grandma says: "what's a wayland?"

How can anybody seriously argue Linux is an OS ready for ordinary users when you have to do crap like this? Complete delusion.

Linux isn't a single OS. It's hundreds of different and weird combinations.

There are Linux distributions that are better than Windows or iOS for grandma to use as well as distributions where you need to be an expert to do anything.

It doesn't matter, your options are either X11 or a Wayland-based compositor, both of them come with their respective headaches that a regular user has NO IDEA how to fix.

This is only accurate for people who choose enthusiast-centric DIY distributions such as Arch.

“Regular” users have plenty of distribution choices where there are zero of these types of headaches.
